Review summary

We have down 13 Princess Cruises and this was the most fun. We love the service is the dining room and really enjoyed then variety of entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We arrived at the Princess checkin counter at 3 PM and walked right up to the counter. The entire checkin process took about 5 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate breakfast and lunch in the top deck (Horizon Court) and was pleased with the selection and quality of the food. We had the early fixed seating dining and was spoiled by our waiter Eduardo who with his Bus Boy gave our table 5-Star service

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The activities (Marriage Game, Yes/No Game, etc.) the cruise staff had planned were fun and gave a more personal feel to the ship. The dane floor was too small for the line dancing classes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I went on this Princess Cruise mainly for the entertainment and was not disappointed. They had brought on the ship some top notch singers, dancers and comedians from around the world.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was first class and everyone we met went out of their way to make us feel welcome and provided for our every need.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The Star Princess was built in 2002 and has been well maintained over the years. We were told she goes into dry dock April 2020 for a facelift.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Standard Princess cabin. Very small but comfortable. Our cabin steward kept if very clean.
